190 million dollar budget and still full of clichés

Rating: 6/10 (4 October 2013)

At the time of writing, the 7.5 rating here can only be attributed to the big screen experience of the incredible CGI. No doubt even on small screen the CGI looks tremendous, but, the film itself is a cliché-riddled affair. If you take notepad and start marking people who will do what at the end of the movie, you will be right for at least 9 out of 10 of those people. That condescending guy will be saved by the hero at the end, that rookie girl will eventually save the day, that awesome-speech delivering Marshall might as well die a heroic death at the end and well that's about it, plus two loud and big mouthed scientist that happen to know everything just in time...yeah, that's about it.
Of course, the action is thoroughly enjoyable; even among the disgust of clichés you cannot help but 'wow' the jaw-droppingly awesome action sequences. As long as you have your expectations in check, you will enjoy this movie.
